Dec 13, 2018Apr 19, 20203 Comments

There are only 18 days left in 2018 and I want to try and share a bookish post each day that relates to a certain theme. A lot of them will be my favourite books of the year that fit a certain category, but essentially I just want to celebrate this year, as I created … Continue reading 18 days of 2018: Favourite Series

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and this week's theme is Best Books I've Read in 2018. I'm up to 173 books on my Goodreads challenge for this year, so it took a long time to cut my favourites down to just ten, but I did it after a lot of deliberating and … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 10th July

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly theme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and this week's theme is Books with Red, White and Blue covers to mark Independence Day in the USA. I'm not usually someone who really scrutinises the covers of books, so this became quite a challenge for me to remember 10 books that fit … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 3rd July
